Guest Reviews
- Makenna (7/5): Our other vacation plans fell through last minute and despite being last minute we were able to book Islander Motel and - I liked the location and how a lot of things were in walking distance, especially the beach. Check in and check out were super easy. I liked sitting on the balcony at night and watching the city life. I didn’t like how loud the AC unit was, couldn’t hear the TV or a phone call. But it did drown out neighbor noise late at night!
I didn’t like how there was a door connecting to the other rooms on both sides.
- Gabrielle (10/5): -
- Wanda (4/5): Extra charges needed to be upfront - Close to the beach Shower head broken. Charged for every little thing. Tv channels. Parking pass $10
- Ashley (7/5): -
- Todd (10/5): It was a pleasant stay. - The price was right. We just needed a clean bed and shower for the night. The staff was friendly. We didn't have any issues. I would prefer free parking but since the rooms are not expensive it didn't make that much of a difference.
- Karen (6/5): Okay - Car parking
- Mia (10/5): -
- Trevor (9/5): - I liked that the rooms had enough space for myself and my three daughters, the bathroom was big, it had AC, and the pool was nice. My girls loved it. I did not like that. There was no rug when you enter the room. So the floor was constantly right. I went or had to make towls wet and the fact that the TV did not turn to face the beds, it was purely stuck on the wall. Instead of a swively
- Samantha (4/5): -
- Tylor (10/5): -
- Michael (8/5): Good value - For the price very good. Definitely a value for a resort town. Kids lived there pool, it’s a good size to play in.
- Mike (8/5): The hotel was great, I just wish I got a better deal on the room - The staff at the hotel was very helpful. The young European girls at the front desk were very helpful and courteous The water pressure from the shower was not good
- Julia (1/5): - For the price, I suppose we got what we paid for. Room was dirty when we arrived. Several flies were in the room, the floor left our bare feet black and there were hairs in the bathroom. We left halfway through our stay when we saw a small bug crawling on our of our headboards. We are not sure if it was a bed bug, tick, or flea but we didn't care to find out.
- Melissa (9/5): I’ll be back next year! - I wish there was WiFi so I could have gotten more work done
- John (1/5): Super unsatisfied with whole experience Don't go - Close to beach walking distance nice pool area. Staff really friendly hot water in the shower, cold ac 🥶 Room are very dirty, not enough lights inside of the room, stand on sheets, 😞 Had to move 3 times because of things really not working properly, rate was really good, Ac broke in the middle of the night and had to relocate to another room just need a sit of updates.
- Maher (2/5): -
- Mark (3/5): Drunk black man pan handling merchandise yelling at who ever passed by trying to sell his junk left -
- Kalei (8/5): - Just about everything except… They did not give us extra towels and no disturb sign
- Lisa (6/5): -
- Michael (5/5): - There was no breakfast at the facility. The location was good. What I did not like was two days before our stay we got an email from the Islander informing us that they had on site parking but if I wanted to park in their parking lot, they wanted to charge me $10.47 a day if I would’ve known that when booking, I would’ve took that into consideration and would not have booked there, I would’ve booked somewhere where my parking was included in the price of my room I was very disappointed that they told me that two days before
- Domenic (10/5): -
- Barbara (6/5): - No ice machine
- Mehlika (5/5): -
- Jason (10/5): -
- Tracy (6/5): - The room cleaning staff was very nice and helpful
Location is close to many stores and restaurants
Bed was comfortable - could have 1 more pillows There was trash all over the outside and no one picked it up. I actually picked up some of the trash.
The toilet didn't flush properly almost every single time
Not enough soap for the shower and no shampoo
Paying $10 a night for parking
Being charged $200.00 for non smoking, which we don't and I except a full refund.
I also except a refund of $100.00 0 security deposit as we left the room in perfect condition

- Jessica (1/5): -
- Shawn (2/5): We refused to sleep there it was so dirty - The two staff members we met were very nice. The place was Filthy, smelled very badly of mold and mildew. The bathroom was falling apart. Nothing was clean, there was hair all over the beds. The room was barley big enough to walk around the bed.No TV service provided.
- Ashley (5/5): Fine for a quick stay when not in the room much - Staff was very friendly. Location was great with parking available for a small fee. Rooms were not very clean. Ceiling was dirty with some bugs & rust on the metal structure.

Wifi didn't work.
No shampoo.
Tv USB couldn't handle media.
- Clyde (5/5): Ok as long as you know what to expect. - Location and pool are great. Bed was so tall my wife had to buy a stepstool to get in it. They didn't clean the room in the 3 days we were there. They charge for parking. There is only Wi-Fi if you are right by the office.
- James (7/5): -
- Stephanie (7/5): -
- James (1/5): - Nothing Cock roaches and bugs , poop stains on sheets
- Patricia veronica (1/5): Malo - Pague estacionamiento y me chocaron el auto y ni sus camaras funcionan
- Desiree (8/5): -
- Faith (1/5): This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. - It was horrible
There’s nothing to like about this place It had mold, the first staff I had was kindve rude and when I asked to leave do to health issues bc of the mold and get refunded they made it really complicated but they said they’d refund me finally. Her manager called and told her to refund me it all. UPDATE: it’s been a month since my visit I have yet to receive my refund even though Kim the manager said I would. I would not go here if I was you! There was mold everywhere even in the air conditioner. The bed had stains there was stuff stashed around the room from past visitors. The staff was horrible. I called the cops and they said it was common and didn’t do anything. If it’s common for a place to be a health risk then why is no one doing anything about it. I could’ve died from breathing in that black mold and so could my little brother. I have severe asthma and instantly was throwing up and needed my inhaler from that room the smell was so strong. And they still won’t refund me. I didn’t even stay in the hotel.
I stayed in my car. And eventually tried to find an air bnb. This hotel advertised free parking and did not tell you that they make you pay 100 dollars for incident plus 10 for parking everyday
- Brittany (1/5): there was ants and mold all over our room - Nothing there was ants and mold all over our room there was ants and mold all over our room
- Candy (5/5): Ok - Location Said parking was free, then you find out free parking was on the street. If wanted to park in lot was 10.49 per day was not told that a head of time. They did not clean the room either. Had to request that, but if you come back after midnight it is too late.
- Joe (2/5): - Arrive to the room dirt on the floors people upstairs use the water bathroom started leaking told front desk proceeded to bring towels to shove in the ceiling to stop the leak
- cindy (6/5): - Location That we were charged to park in the hotel parking lot. No where on your site did it say we needed to pay for a parking spot
- Johnson (7/5): -
- Fuska (7/5): - Location to boardwalk. No ice machines

- Roosevelt (10/5): -
- Melinda (5/5): Was there for country festival. Had a blast but the tiny room and hard mattress didn’t allow for much rest in between!! - Location Size of room. loud AC. Ants in bathroom, no toilet paper didn’t look like it had been cleaned. Fridge leaked. No one in office @ 8:30 for check out to inform them of fridge.
- Tasha (1/5): Definitely find a different hotel to stay at! - Location They charged us $10 a day to park in the parking lot. The floors were dirty the sheets had stains on them the mattress cover had mold on it. The sink in the bathroom ran constantly we had to shut the water off to it. The toilets wouldn't flush. The outlets didn't work. They charged us $100.00 on a credit card instead of just a hold. The employees couldn't answer any questions they said it was their first day. We stay in Ocean City a few times a year and never experienced a hotel this bad!
- john (1/5): - Friendly person at desk Very strong chlorine smell coming from pool causing asthma attacks and electrical sockets coming out of wall
- Miller (5/5): Won’t go back. - Location Nowhere to hang clothes.
Shower head sprayed everywhere.
Charged for parking in the lot but witnessed people parking there who weren’t guests.
- Sanders (1/5): Don't fall for the fake pictures - The location was convenient for what I needed. The staff was less than helpful. There was an extra charge to park in the parking lot. The room was smelly as soon as you open the door. The walls were cement blocks. The beds were really high. There was mold on the walls and the lamp and the trim of everything. The beds were hard. The bathroom was dirty and gross. The soap was horrible. The curtains didn't cover the whole window.
- JOE (10/5): -
- Brian (8/5): - Staff was friendly and accommodating. The nice lady at the desk was able to get me checked in early. Very good location, 1 min walk to fish Tales. Mini golf next door. Room was clean. Price was very good relative to hotels in the same area. It's a little unusual that parking wasn't included in the room price. Overall the price was still very fair. Some may think the rooms could use some minor cosmetic work, I am not bothered by a couple scuffs on the wall.
- john (1/5): - Lady at desk was nice Very strong chlorine smell right outside our door.
- Jennifer (8/5): - We loved the room we were moved to from the initial one. No one around us great view overlooking the pool Our first room wasn't cleaned so we asked to be moved and we were and 2nd room was way better.
- Deidre (1/5): As above - Nothing as advertised . Parking made pay nightly and not enforced ; charged rate when booked on booking and per email down payment included , but girl wouldn’t listen . Nothing worked in room on arrival including tv , internet , broken , dirty , no phone , went to office no maintenance, moved rooms in middle of night and same issues in new room which was a hair nicer , and still nothing resolved for entire stay and emails to main customer support for refunds and money back due to fraudulent services as they did not have housekeeping or laundering or towels even when asked , and never fixed anything . We had.m no tv or wi fi entire stay which they say they offer in rate as do with trash removal etc and towels. No enforcement in parking as no spots for 3 days and took photos of people with no signs and paid parking yet I paid and would not refund and had no parking plus got a ticket there when had plackard in view . No sense or care of right or wrong , customer service , falsely advertise, and very expensive !!! Do not recommend As above
- Robert (6/5): -
- Lavon (6/5): I would stay here again. The staff was pleasant and my room was kept clean per request. I did not like that. I had to pa - The rooms are updated. Our rooms were clean daily because we asked. The pool was clean daily. The location is in a great spot for Ocean City Our TV was not usable the entire week we were there. The bathroom had mold.
- Mack (7/5): - Had to pay for parking
- Karen (5/5): - The location I didn't like the fact that I had to pay to park on the property. Every other motel gives one parking spot per room. Not this place. If you didn't pay you had to park on the street.
- Jennifer (10/5): - Had a great time. No complaints.
- Gould (1/5): Horrible place to stay don't do it - The location The room smelled of mildew it wasn't clean no one was hardly ever in the office they had a bunch of Mexicans there making all kinds of noise and drinking it was a horrible experience I'll never go back there were no phones in the room in my TV never worked
- Jaquon (8/5): -
- Conlin (8/5): -
- Erica (2/5): - Location Staff was very rude!! Booked a room either what pictures said it was get to the hotel and it’s 10x smaller than what it showed! There was ants in the bathroom!
- Adam (10/5): -
- Luvia (6/5): -
- Maurice (1/5): Terrible - Nothing Rooms were smelly bathroom tub black dirt from mold coming out of the ceiling and old wood unpainted. It was terrible. I will never stay there again!!!!
- Tabitha (5/5): Not great! - Comfortable beds Too expensive, especially considering you have to pay extra for parking! Could've been cleaner and needed more towels than what they provide.
- Michelle (1/5): - room full of rats. There was no nightstand, no mirror, no place to store clothes. The TV didn't work. I had to go to reception to ask for everything I needed, and there was also no telephone.
- Cynthia (10/5): -
- Lisa (4/5): - Très bruyant
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Carmen (3/5): Disappointed - The second room had space The first room the door was damaged and I went and told the staff to change me and refuse to do so she keep telling me the maintances guy will come and fix it . This was a nightmare it took me 1:30 to be able to fix this problem
So she could change me to another room I had to record how the bathroom was I even told her how can you rent a room with a door bad she said I knew it bad but not that bad after I show her the video she change me but it was very upsetting I had my son with me and he was not having a good time at all
- AYIHENG (9/5): - Great location 1. On site parking is not free and you have to park on the street if you want free parking.
2. The bathroom was not clean enough: there were hair on the towel and body hair on the floor.
- Rachael (5/5): - How close it is to downtown ocean city. It was a good price very convenient I was 15 minutes late checking out and the charged me $35 mind you the facility was completely empty it was a Monday all the rooms were vacant except for 3 other rooms there was no need for that. It could have been a little more clean and updated
- Thelma (10/5): -
- Samantha (8/5): Great value cute and cozy - The price 76 a night is a great price for families on a budget this made it possible for us to have a vacation! We love the little table to eat at in the room so cute ! We wish they had an electric grill that would made the experience a10 out of 10 families in a budget like to cook on their family vacation!
- Cubias (7/5): - Regular La cama los esquina son muy peligrosa me hice un gran moretón
- Mohamed Abderrahmane (10/5): -
- Ana (7/5): - Pequeño los cuartos y el baño pero buena ubicación
Agradable Que no tenía mucho servicios de cable
Que no tiene parqueo para carro y me cobraron el parqueo además no me gustó que pidieran un depósito reembolsable de $100
- Lasha (1/5): This was the worst stay I’ve ever had. The bed had dirty, used sheets, the air conditioner had no remote, and the TV rem - This was the worst stay I’ve ever had. The bed had dirty, used sheets, the air conditioner had no remote, and the TV remote didn’t even work. The rooms are in terrible condition. A nightmare experience – I would never recommend this place. This was the worst stay I’ve ever had.

- Carlos (1/5): - Pay parking it did not said that on the ad
Room had no towels or soap anything
- Danielle (8/5): -
- Michelle (3/5): -
- Eric (5/5): -
- JustMeMay (5/5): Suitable for a quick visit to the beach just bring a pillow and expect to pay extra for parking - They fullfilled my request to be near pool I'd expected parking in the motel lot, which ended up being an additional cost. Also, we had difficulty with the TV working I could not use my complete stay, Had no way of reaching the front office, No PHONES in the room and any phone number I found online when trying to use my cell phone was out of order. Disappointing for sure
- Gladys (6/5): very clean for a 2.9 star motel. The front desk lady was super kind and helpful 😊 - very clean loud people near the pool late at night.
I had to pay for daily parking, they gave me a permit tag to hang in my car, then I could not find any spots at night, but I noticed some parked cars without a permit tag in the parking lot.
- Michael (5/5): - hotel charges for parking separatey
- Josiah (7/5): - The pool was clean clear,the motel the situated within walking distance or e bike or bicycle. Should you wish to exercise to many places to eat. Entertainment sightsee. I don't like the fact that no parking is advertised on this site as well as there. The main site, yet, when you get there, you are charged ten dollars
- Stephanie (10/5): - The staff, service , layout of the room, everything . Definitely will be going back!🙂
- Edney (8/5): -
- georgina (5/5): - Really only staff Bed too high had to do to flights of stairs when we both are handicap
